Africa is the continent that has been most explored by Sorosoro, since Africa alone is home to approximately 2,000 languages, nearly one third of the languages spoken throughout the world.
Here you will find a set of documents to discover the linguistic richness of this continent: videos from our field shoots, articles written by linguists, anthropologists and journalists, and description sheets of the languages and language families (13 or 14 families and 3 types of Creoles) in Africa.

Sorosoro is a program carried by the WOLACO Association (World Languages ​​Conservancy) and supported by the Laboratory of Excellence ASLAN (Advanced Studies on language complexity) from the University of Lyon.
